ASHI finally agrees to work to eliminate any public claim that they are the largest.
We are giving ASHI, their chapters, and their members time to correct their websites, brochures, etc.

Opening Electrical Service Panels
Do you open electrical service panels (remove the normal panel cover if necessary) to check or verify the condition of the electrical wiring, etc?
If not why not?
Are home inspectors obliged to comply the Occupational Health and Safety ACT?
Just curious of what others do and consider as a normal safe inspection practice when dealing with the electrical service inspection.
Thanks

Gas Fireplace using Class A vent
The home I inspected today use to have a wood burning stove. A class A vent is installed. A free standing gas fireplace has replaced the wood burning. The gas fireplace vents into the Class A vent. Is this ok. I understand Class A is generally used for high temperature fuels such as wood or oil. Since the class A is designed for high temperatures is there any reason why it could not be used for gas which is cooler. I feel as though it is ok but as you see in the left side of the photo, the neighbors had the same conversion and their installer ran a B vent through the Class A.

Anyone Currently Do Cowboy Acton Shooting or Used To?
I am considering doing this as a once a month hobby. I have a authentich Winchester hammer action pump shotgun that I think qualifies and a couple of Ruger black powder 44's but no lever-action in pistol caliber. Looking for advice or just someone to chat with about the hobby.
It looks like a fun way to spend one Saturday a month in the morning.
I would be the youngest one in the group also from what I saw last Saturday :D
A little corny but I bet I would not be thinking about my problems while playing cowboy

Please Protect Your Eyes
Last week I was entering an attic area and a contractor inquired about my face mask and filters. He was wondering why I was not wearing eye protection when going into the attic area. I explained that I have always worn a mask to filter out organics etc. and have never had a problem. He went on to tell me about a co-worker of his that lost an eye because he refused to wear eye protection when re-mediating for mold.
None of us would be in business if we lost our vision.
After that inspection I ordered one of these.

Use this simple marketing strategy to get more annual inspections from your clients.
This is the new back page of the book "Now That You've Had a Home Inspection."
Staple your home inspection business card to this page before you give your clients the book.

PRO-LAB Do it yourself Mold Test Kit
I am not sure how long this product has been marketed by PRO-LAB but I found it at Home Depot for $13.98 cdn. "Do it yourself test kit for Mold" They indicate if you want an air quality test then you have to buy two kits because you have to put one outside as a control to compare indoor to outdoor air quality (Hmm I thought I wanted two samples taken outside). No mention of snow or temperature concern. You receive a petri dish, a Q tip and a small bottle of solution to pour on the petri dish. It's so simple a monkey could do it. You simply let the solution harden, which shouldn't be to tough for the control sample because it was 15 degrees below Celsius last night. The one you use in the building after it hardens sits on top of a supply duct for 10 minutes, then you put the lid on and let it incubate for 48 hours. They go on to say that if you see different mold on an indoor sample that you don't see outside send it to the lab with $30 and they will let you know what you have. I have to wonder how IAC2 would feel about this products effectiveness and value.
I'm confused...
If I advertise that I repair cars... in fact call myself Joe's Excellent Auto Repairs, and sell services... but then put in my literature that Joe's Excellent Auto Repairs is not an auto repair company...
What would this mean to you?

Introduction
Good Day all. My name is Sam Kingery. I have been a member of InterNACHI since Jan. I started as a student and am taking many of the online classes to better prepare myself to become a HI. My plan is to "open the doors" in May.
A little about myself. I am 40, married with a 13 year old son. I have been a business owner since 2001. First with a business partner, then a few years ago we split the company and went our separate ways. Have been a sole proprietor since then. HI will be the first company I have started from scratch. Am nervous and excited all at the same time.
I am sure I will be asking lots of questions. I could get into alot more about myself, but this isn't a dating site. Just thought I would do a little introduction.
Thanks,
